Solution

The correct option is B It is not developed completely and degenerate.
An atretic follicle is the follicle, that degenerates before coming to maturity; many atretic follicles occur in the ovary before puberty; in the sexually mature woman, several are formed each month. A fully developed mature follicle is called as Graafian follicle.
